Tender Buttons on E.62nd! (Believe me, take inventory before you leave home on everything that could use new life with a button change! (ie. $12 sweater from Target can soon be a Wow, where'd you get that?) Count what you need and make a written list(sizes included)...you'll die if you like buttons even just a little bit.)

I'm boring right, no food or fun... :(Slaid Cleaves is touring the North East, maybe he's in the city while you're there...you'd dig him!

Barrio Cino (broome st) for margaritas at hip hole in the wall Mexican place, Clinton St Baking Co for breakfast (pancakes are amazing!) or Penelope's on 30th and Lexington (sit at the bar for breakfast, youll get in faster), ABC Carpets, the rooftop garden at the Met for great views...

Billy's Bakery on 9th for cupcakes!!! and send me some!The Kitchen for some, off the beaten path, art! (I used to work there and miss it so much!)
